Oxford plans benefit quilt show
OXFORD – The Thursday Night Quilters will be having a Quilt Show and Raffle on Saturday. It will be held in the Fellowship Hall at the Fort Hill building of the United Church of Oxford, from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. The cost of the show is $3 (at the door) and includes dessert and a beverage. (A soup and sandwich lunch will also be available.)
The Quilt Show will be an exhibit of a variety of quilts made by different fiber artists, some, members of the Thursday Night Quilters. The members are Linda Meek, Joyce Tefft, Blanche Tefft, Sharon McGowan, Marian Ireland, Nancy Ryan, and Sharlene Lints. Others are invited to display their quilts. Quilts do not have to have been made by their owners. They can vary in size; be old or new; however, a good story behind a quilt can make it unique and interesting. It’s that historic or sentimental quality that the show’s organizers would welcome as an asset to the event.
The raffle is for a special quilt to benefit Cilla Davis. Cilla is a woman from Oxford, in need of a double lung transplant. The Thursday Night Quilters group thought it would be a nice way to help out with some of her expenses by making and raffling a quilt. Their combined talents produced a cheerful, 100% cotton quilt, which measures approximately 75” square. It’s perfect as an oversized throw or wall hanging, and is of heirloom quality. In a modern design called, “Color by the Yard”, the quilt is currently on display in the Oxford NBT bank lobby. Tickets will be sold at the Quilt Show up until the 3 p.m. drawing.
The Quilters group only has a show once every two years, so be sure not to miss this event. If you would like to purchase raffle tickets or if you have a quilt that you’d like to exhibit in the show, that hasn’t been in one of the previous Quilt Shows, contact Linda Meek at 843-9416 or Joyce Tefft at 843-8765.
